About the Item

Silvio Poma Landscape With Shepherds oil on canvas painting depicts a dirt road in the middle of a tree-lined countryside with farmers grazing a flock of sheep. On the left side of this rural Lombard landscape we find a stream with a small bridge. The signature S. Poma is found in the lower right corner and relates to the Italian painter of the Lombard school Silvio Poma 1840-1932. The painting is on first canvas in good condition within a beautiful coeval gilded pastille frame and comes from a private collection in Milan. To export an antique art object from Italy, an export license called BELLE ARTI must be applied for from the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage. the issuance of such a government license takes a couple of weeks or so, to be added to the order's shipping time. Silvio Poma (Trescore Balneario 1840 - Turate 1932) is known as a landscape painter with a repertoire of lake views, often traveling to Lake Como and the small village of Lierna to paint, intimate in character, also showing the influence of his contemporary Filippo Carcano in their realistic approach. The period from 1883 onward saw an increase in activity with systematic presentation of works in national exhibitions and lasting success in the art market. He participated as a volunteer in the Second War of Independence and later took up military life, but in 1866 he was discharged from the army after contracting malaria. Upon his return to Milan he attended the studios of Giovan Battista Lelli and Gerolamo Induno, both soldier-painters with whom he had come into contact during the 1859 military campaign. He made his debut at the Brera Exposition of Fine Arts in 1869, but his first official awards did not come until the middle of the following decade: in 1876 he won the Mylius prize of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts with a canvas of a historical subject set in a large natural setting of romantic taste entitled Macbeth meets in the Dunscinane woods the wargs who prey on his throne; in 1877 one of his landscapes was purchased at the National Exposition in Naples by Victor Emmanuel II. He was buried at the Maggiore Cemetery in Milan, where his remains were later collected in a small cell. The public purchase by King Victor Emmanuel II for his private collection will give him international fame among the royal families of the epca. At the 1881 Milan National Exposition he presented: View of Lake Lecco and the tip of Bellagio (known as La Punta di Bellagio); Abbadia on Lake Lecco; Riva near Abbadia; Lake Lecco at Lierna; Monterosso; Punta di Palianzo, Lake Maggiore; at the 1883 Milan National Exposition, A bosco luganese; Chestnut Forest; Lake Pescate; at the 1883 Rome Exposition; Lake Garda; Lake Pescate; at the 1884 Turin Exposition: Pianazzo Forest in Luganese Forest; Shore of Vercurago; Monte Rosa; vicinity of Sesto Calende; Lake Lugano, branch of Agno ; Milan National Exhibition of 1886: The Horns of Canto di Valmadrera; Mount San Martino; Mount Legnane; Panorama of Lecco; at the 1887 Venice Exposition :The Bridge of Lecco; Pescarenico suil'Adda and On the Lake"; and at the 1888 Bologna Exposition: Heights of Menaggio and Pescarenico and Mount San Martino.
